Colombia has launched a public consultation period regarding the draft National Policy on Strategic Minerals, as determined by the National Planning Department (CONPES). This initiative seeks public input on the proposed policy framework governing the country’s strategic mineral resources. Citizens now have until August 6th to review the draft document and submit their comments and feedback. The consultation aims to incorporate diverse perspectives into the final policy, ensuring a comprehensive approach to managing these vital resources. La Silla Vacía first reported the opening of the consultation. This policy is expected to influence how Colombia navigates the growing global demand for minerals critical to the energy transition and technological advancements. The consultation process is a key step toward solidifying Colombia’s position in the strategic minerals market.
